Correct! But anyone flying a lot within Germany or from Germany within Europe has a double-dilemma: any flight not passing by the LH hubs of FRA,MUC,ZRH, VIE or BRU will be on Germanwings in the near future. Germanwings is not part of Star Alliance, so whoever changes to TK- or A3-membership will lose the possible credit for all these flights.
